How are gallbladder problems treated?
Find out about SILS gallbladder removal that allows some patients to have their gallbladder removed with NO visible scars! In most situations gallbladder problems require surgical treatment. Since gallstones are often just a sign of the problem, treatment is directed towards the gallbladder rather than the gallstones. The treatment involves removing the gallbladder. This is done in most cases using laparoscopic surgery. Sometimes a procedure called SILS can be used to improve the cosmetic results of gallbladder removal. Non-surgical treatments such as dissolution therapy and lithotripsy have a poor success rate and a high recurrence rate so are used only in very limited circumstances.
